That the Two Old Cronies have estah-
lished themselves as two old favortes in
Richmond was evidenced by the large
house which greeted their return 10 the
Academy last night. The large audito
rum Of that building was comfortably
filed, while the galleries were packed.
The performance seemed rather 10 have
gained than lost by its brief withdrawal
rom our boards. il the laughter and ap
plause so generously and spontaneously
given by the audience last night is any
criterion.
Tonight the Gray-Stephens combina-
ton inaugurate an engagement Of four

LONDON. November 29.-The French
crisis presents no new features. unless
the greatest change Of sentiment regard
ing the attitude OF NJ. Grevy may be re-
garded as an additional phase. Never In
the history OF elective Office holding has
there been corresponding example OF
tenacious clinging to place in the face OF
popular desire to be ria of the incumbent,
nor has there been In the life OF the
French Republic anything like the
present undercurrent Of ntemperste
opposition to the governmental system.
Agents Of the Compte de Paris and
Prince Victor Napoleon have sedulously
canvassed the provinces I'm the interests
OF their respective principals within the
last fortnight and every possible effort
TO bring about plebiscite will be made,
not in expectation of success, but rather
Tor the purpose OF ascertaining the senti'
ment Of the country with regard to the
possibilities Of the monarchy.
Nr. Greyy may and no doubt does,
honestly believe that hls course is not
only the best for himself. but the best for
France but he may live 10 regret his

he has fallen into moody, stolid state
